Factory ratings and installed configuration are identified separately Ford identifies the 1992–1996 Bronco as the fifth generation. This truck retains that body form, but its engine, fuel system, suspension, wheels and retrim must be described as installed modifications rather than original factory equipment. The VIN and model identity do not validate the replacement engine’s builder or internals. No supported special-production or rarity claim was established, and the auction’s corrected engine description should accompany future specification work. [1,2] The auction attributed the replacement V8 installation to 2023. Seller comments relayed the prior owner’s account of a BluePoint 302ci engine and approximately 500–1,000 break-in miles at the earlier handoff. These are reported details, not an independently verified installation invoice or proof of the engine’s present mileage. The initial 351ci description was explicitly corrected during the auction. [1] No comprehensive dated service ledger was established. The repaint, interior retrim, lift and steering components are documented modifications, but their invoices and installation dates should be obtained. A current evaluation should address engine identification and EFI calibration, lifted suspension and steering geometry, the reported acceleration pull, headlight condensation and all power functions. The 2008 accident and mileage inconsistency should remain disclosed until supported by clearer records. [1] The public history supports a modified truck with unknown actual mileage and an accident entry, not a clean-history or original-engine claim. A title described as clean does not erase the accident record. The later indexed auction result is retained as a lead only. Before current advertising, obtain the title, engine/build invoices, present odometer photographs, repair records and an inspection addressing the seller’s acceleration-pull disclosure and lifted chassis.

Overview

This 1993 Ford Bronco XLT is a modified fifth-generation example with a white repaint, tan leather retrim, six-inch suspension lift and 20-inch Moto Metal wheels. The late-2025 auction described a replacement 302ci V8 with Holley Sniper fuel injection, Edelbrock components and a performance camshaft, driving through a four-speed automatic and dual-range transfer case. The engine identity was corrected during the seller discussion and remains a reported specification pending build documentation. Its illegible odometer makes total mileage unknown. A recorded 2008 accident, a history-report mileage inconsistency and a seller-reported pull under hard acceleration remain material disclosures. [1,2]

This 1993 Bronco XLT pairs the familiar removable-rear-roof profile of Ford’s fifth-generation sport-utility with a substantially modified stance. Refinished in white, the truck was photographed with body-color fender flares, step bars, a swing-away spare carrier, an aftermarket rear bumper and a receiver hitch. The 20-inch Moto Metal wheels wear 35-inch Neoterra Neomax R/T tires, and a reported six-inch lift creates the elevated appearance seen in the 2025 sale photographs. The visual presentation is that of a customized Bronco, rather than a factory-stock survivor. [1,2]

The engine was described in the final auction record as a replacement BluePoint 302ci V8 installed in 2023. Listed modifications include Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection, a performance camshaft, Edelbrock Performer cylinder heads and an Edelbrock air cleaner. A four-speed automatic transmission, dual-range transfer case and limited-slip differential complete the documented drivetrain. During the auction the seller corrected an earlier 351ci description after consulting the prior owner, so engine invoices and identification should accompany any definitive displacement or builder claim. [1]

The suspension specification includes Rough Country shocks, with a PSC steering pump also noted. Seller comments gave a 3.55 rear axle ratio and an approximate overall height of 80 inches. Inside, the seats were retrimmed in tan leather and the cabin was equipped with air conditioning, cruise control, power windows and a Dual touchscreen stereo. The seller stated that the air conditioning and all power windows, including the rear window, operated in December 2025. Those dated operating statements should be renewed through a current functional inspection. [1]

Condition and history are essential parts of this truck’s description. The odometer was illegible and total mileage is unknown; the 89,000-mile history-report entry from August 2024 should not be represented as verified actual mileage. The auction disclosed a February 2008 accident record, condensation in the left headlight and a slight pull left under hard acceleration reported by the seller. BaT recorded a $21,000 sale on December 1, 2025, with the truck then offered on a Florida title described as clean. [1]

BaT recorded a $21,000 sale on December 1, 2025. At that time the truck was offered on consignment in Mississippi with a Florida title described as clean. Those facts do not determine present ownership, location or title status. A later secondary auction index associates the same VIN with Mecum Houston in April 2026; that lead requires the direct lot record before being treated as a fully verified subsequent transaction. [1,3]
